TRIAGE

Dear TRIAGE Students

Greetings SB255. The lab is quiet this week. I miss the bussel of scientists preparing for the January colloquium. I hope that you are enjoying your science classes at school and maybe trying some experiments at home. Here is an experiment from a great site published by the Exploratorium, the museum of science, art and human perception. It is a great site to check out over the holidays.

I hope that you have a wonderful holiday season. I am looking forward to seeing you the week of January 7-10 to celebrate our accomplishments and finish our preparations for the colloquium on Saturday, January 12.

The Van Andel Institute visit did not come together for this week. There was not enough interest for the tour to move forward.

TRIAGE for Tuesday
TRIAGE will meet today, Tuesday December 11th in spite of the weather. Our policy is to open if Grand Rapids Public Schools are open. We will be in SB255 as usual. Please drive safely if you decide to join us.

Van Andel Visit
I am still waiting on word from the Van Andel about our visit next week. There were only seven students and four parents that responded so I believe part of the delay may be due to numbers. I’ll keep you updated!

Looking Ahead
As a reminder: TRIAGE is taking a long break for Christmas in part because of busy schedules for our middle school teacher helpers this time of year and our Calvin College pre-service teachers are in the middle of exams and making the trip home for the holidays
We will meet one last time the week of January 7 to complete our posters, practice out presentations and celebrate a year of hard work and dedication to scientific research.
The poster presentations are on January 12 back at the Bunker Center.
The calendar has all the details.

TRIAGE

We have a potential opportunity to tour the Van Andel Institute with a cancer scientist the week of December 17. He is working to arrange a time during our normal TRAIGE time on a day that week. What he needs to know, therefore, I need to know, is how many students are interested and how many of your parents would like to join us.

Please email me as soon as possible if you are interested.
